I think it`s a good idea to release the one you found, but the G.rosea(Chilean Rose Hair ) you are going to buy, is probably WC too.
G.rosea grow extremly slow, and petshops want to buy animals they can sell right away.
Can you post a picture of the one you cought? If it`s a male, it won`t live for long, and will serve the nature if you release it. If it`s a female, you might consider keeping it, but it`s up to you.

Yesterday I found something called water gel or something at my local garden shop. The description was something like" Can holde water for flowers up 14 days" or something. I don`t know what it is made from, and tought i might contain fertilizer or something other harmful to my roaches... Any oppinion? Some "safe" brands?

Wow!
This is very interesting to read
Maybe something similar to the old Human Canibal tribes?( Didn`t they eat their enemy to get their powers or something?) Maybe the roaches know that other roaches are a god source of protein /minerals/vitamins ?
Anyway, thanks alot for the answers!

Some questions have troubled my mind the past days..
Do roaches have some kind of hierarchy?
Is it like the wolfes with an Aplha male/female?
Is it like the ants with some kind of queen person.(for instance like one female/male that will dominate the rest of the culture is some kind of way? Or just is more attractive to mate with for some reason?)
Are they all like singel indivuals living togheter, no ranking, no responsibilities?
Is it normal for males to fight each other to be the one to mate with that femal? If so, is there normal with casualties?
Will females mate with different males or just keep to one singel male?
Are they territorial? Like one roach sticks to his or her corner when not seraching for food and stuff?

To track down the orgin of the cilture willbe almost impossible. I bought them from a German (breeder I belive. He had 100 for sale.) on a gathering in Sweeden. His did not understand english very well, and I don`t speak german, so we agreed price and amount by nodding and counting fingers
He gave me a piece of paper with the name of the species.
When one dies, I will send it to you, grateful for that offer
Please excuse my lacking english grammar
BTW: Is there a good picture with roach anatomy her somewhere, or maybe on a other site?
